Well, Swoop was a pre-order bonus for Australia.

According to the game, their alt. modes aren't designed to disguise them. They are just meant to be tough and spikey and built to sustain lots of damage.

C'mon... just a joke... as much as I love 'em, the Dinobot's robotic dinosaur alt-mode has always been beyond logic.

But they were made by Shockwave, how could they be illogical? Perhaps you lack the intelligence to understand his design purpose.

Give me a break... the dude's "purple" and has one eye (isn't there a children's song about that?)... total Froot Loop.

I really don't get the hate on Sludge. First, he is found deactivated in Campaign mode, then he got destroyed when the corosive materials destroyed everything. Now with the multiplayer, he gets the shaft again. However, Sludge appears in dino mode during the credits.

I never got the reason why Sludge was the dino to get the cut. A more logical choice would have been Slag. Since they couldn't use his name because of the meaning in the UK (pansies) they had to call him Slug. So instead of calling him Slug all through the game, they could have swapped him with Sludge and there we have proper named Dinobots as the main four.

Trikeboy wrote:Just mean how they thing people will complain because the Triceratops is called Slag. There is nothing wrong with it, it's just a name. Most of the UK fans and gamers would have been happy with the name Slag. Its just the softies of the UK that can't. It's a shame they had to change it. We survived the 80's with a Dinobot called Slag, I'm sure we can survive again.

Also, I'm drawing on the Beano for some terms


Also, people talking about the logic in having the Dinobots. There is no logic to them at all. Unless Shockwave observed Earth for millions of years before he implemented his plan, there is no way he can look at earth and see a Triceratops, Apatosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus and Pterandon all at the same time. Lets suspend a little disbelief when talking about giant sentient robots please

Sabrblade wrote:The Dinobots are not meant to be logical. They are meant to be giant shock troopers made of awesome.

If it bothers any of you that their altmodes don't work well as good disguises, then the same must also apply to the Insecticons, Predacons, Terrorcons, Decepticon Clones, Monsterbots, Decepticon Headmasters, Firecons, Seacons, Pretender Beasts, Pretender Monsters, and even G1 Shockwave himself (giant flying space gun on Earth makes even less sense than a robotic Earthen dinosaur).

The Dinobots' dinosaurs archosaurs weren't around all at the same time, though. Stegosaurus and Apatosaurus went extinct something like 70 million years before Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, and Pteranodon showed up; that's roughly the same time difference between T. rex and us! Shockwave would have to be watching Earth for a looooooooooong time.

Now that fans have experienced the epic single-player campaigns and multiplayer modes of TRANSFORMERS: FALL OF CYBERTRON, we wanted to let you know that the team at High Moon Studios listened to fans and have been hard at work on exciting downloadable content to support the growing Fall of Cybertron community.

We are thrilled to announce that the legendary DINOBOTS will be playable in online multiplayer modes with the "Dinobot Destructor Pack," set to launch next week for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

The DLC pack will include the following characters, which includes their full body + individual body parts for use in the multiplayer character creator.

• GRIMLOCK (T-rex)
• SLUG (Triceratops)
• SNARL (Stegosaurus)
• SWOOP (Pteranodon)

The TRANSFORMERS: FALL OF CYBERTRON "Dinobot Destructor Pack" will launch on September 11th. For more information, fans can visit http://www.facebook.com/TransformersGame or http://www.TransformersGame.com.

Bubbah wrote:But how many kids are going to know THAT much about history?

Any kid that has any kind of knowledge dinosaurs should know that really basic dinosaur fact. I mean, hell, the show Dinosaur Train has dinosaurs travel through time to meet other dinosaurs!
Then again, popular culture tends to lump anything extinct as "dinosaurs" (pterosaurs, Dimetrodon, mammoths, cave men, etc.), and to FoC's credit it does rather nicely put together a lot of weird TF story elements in a reasonable, better-than-most fashion.

Yeah the Insecticons are coming up in the DLC after this one, if I remember right, which I think is in like 2 or 3 weeks.

25 September. Kickback's chassis is the Scientist, Bombshell (calling them by their G1 names as it should be, don't correct me) is most likely a Titan class chassis (considering Hound's chassis, which will be released alongside the Insecticons, is labeled as a Destroyer. My proof is in the multiplayer trailer) and Shrapnel might end up as an Infiltrator or a Scientist (he does have wings on his insectoid mode).

Thanks Noideaforaname, that was what I was meaning about dinosaurs. The way I under stand the WfC/FoC is that space bridge technology is old but for a time it's usage fell out of common use and so Cybertron was cut off from the rest of the robot inhabited worlds. They only got the ability to use the space bridges in WfC. Unless FoC takes place millions of earth years after WfC, there is no way that Shockwave could have emulated those five dinosaurs.

To date, only two continuities have plausable origins for the dinobots. The G1 show and Animated. In G1, they were created after they arrived on earth after they found fossils of dinosaurs. Their intelligence was explained by them not being fully Cybertronian and Wheeljack couldn't make them as intelligent as Cybertronians. Why they didn't take the Dinobots to Vector Sigma after it was discovered like they did the Arialbots isn't explained. In Animated, they are animatronic dinosaurs that get life from the shards of the Allspark. They are able to gain robot modes too but they didn't have large brain capacity.

However, I look past the innacuarcies and don't let them distract me from the show/comic/game. I saves the headache, trust me.

One last note, I love your name Noideaforaname

What I am thinking, is the Space Bridge makes a hole in Space and Time, since they are linked. So it is possible that in Shockwave's experiments, he looked at Earth at different times. And according to some of the files you hear on the Grimlock level, he brought some of the Dinos back, probably initially to test the stability of the bridge, but then for new form ideas.
